Sick Little Girl

For the first time since Dee came home, I had to pick her up early from school.  She was sick.  A bout of diarrhea.  Dee has a tendency to be hyperchondriac.  Her stomach started to bother her just as I dropped her off.  I gave her some Pepto and told her to go to the bathroom.  They called me before I made it to work, then when school started, and finally at 10:00.  She didn't feel well.  She slept.  Our rule is you have to just lay in your bed, maybe reading until the time we would have come home if you are sick.  If you are sick, that is no problem.  She started complaining about 3:00, so she was feeling better.  I made her stay in the bed.  It's the only way I don't have a problem with faking illness.

Yesterday, she woke up and ate pancakes, with my permission.  Then she felt she throw in some pizza rolls.  While at the vet, she had another instance of diarrhea.  I made her starve with only crackers and 7-up.  She had her dress rehearsal for the NFL game she is performing at.  She was fine.

She ate a regular dinner after her rehearsal, and has done well.

Dee refused to practice her cheer routine for the big NFL game.  She said she knew it!  I must admit, she did pretty good for a girl who hasn't practiced.  Today is the game.  It will be fun and exciting for her to perform for tens of thousands of people.

We ran some blood and urine test on Roxy to see if anything other than allergies is wrong with her.  She is starting a round of prednisone for the allergies.  Hopefully, she is feeling better soon!
